Sunshower (Quick Rinse)

First solo release from vocalist, movement artist and composer Elaine Mitchener, whose work encompasses improvisation, contemporary music theatre and performance art. Solo Throat draws on the work of African-American and African-Caribbean poets Kamau Brathwaite, Aimé Césaire, Una Marson and N. H. Pritchard as source material for twelve new vocal compositions
Elaine Mitchener is a veteran of vocal expression in the global Black Avant Garde, traversing free improvisation, cross-disciplinary music theatre and contemporary composition with clarity and joy. Most recently, Mitchener has been improvising and composing with the written word as source material - challenging classical ensembles with her piece (“the/e so/ou/nd be/t/ween”), and commissioning composers Matana Roberts, Jason Yarde and George Lewis to respond to the work of Sylvia Wynter (“On Being Human as Praxis”, Donaueschinger Musiktage, 2020). Her performance of Umbra poet N.H Pritchard’s text FR/OG at OTO in 2021 was a revelation - a solo vocal recasting of the powerful visual-material form that Pritchard uses to disrupt semantic ‘sense’.

Building on this performance, Solo Throat takes the work of Pritchard alongside poets Edward Kamau Brathwaite, Aimé Césaire and Una Marson as its source material. Its compositions are a loose translation - a carrying from text to voice which holds multiplicity and celebrates the transformative power of literary possibility. Surrendered to the spacing and repetition of consonants and vowels, Michener’s exceptional phonetic freedom gives rise to a sensuous experience which intensifies the roles of rhythm, timbre and breath in expressing meaning.

Solo Throat comes together as much through difference as similarity. Mitchener’s own solo improvisations sit alongside the work of Brathwaite, Césaire, Marson and Pritchard, forming a constellation of unlikely alignments which make no aesthetic conclusion. Instead, Solo Throat is a site of encounter, an irreducibly plural de-composition of words into a heterogeneous assemblage of sounds and impulses, emphasising what Anthony Reed calls, “the play on and the surplus of margins of lyrical translation to resituate other pathways of expression”. Just as the poets cited use white space to complicate our act of reading, so Mitchener utilises silence and multiphonics to complicate the act of voicing and the way we listen.

Solo Throat

ROKU036 - Elaine Mitchener - "stretchedwoundspeaks" from Solo Throat

"If The Sea Would Ask Me" is the second full-length album by Canadian Rifles. Following on from his solo debut "Atoll" on A.V.A. in 2019 and a more recent run of EPs and collaborative releases, this new body of work sees the Porto-based musician's style shift, further contemplating minimalism as his core approach. Heavily anchored by expansive overtones and lavish slow-moving melodies, all five compositions carry a monolithic yet delicate presence. It is a work of masterfully exercised restraint and quasi-sacred beauty. Of trauma and broken promises. If the sea would ask me, would I follow?

Manu Jaikin - Synthetic Tales - 24.05.24

In our new installment of our CD series we have the pleasure of featuring two fantastic duos that have surprised us with the originality of their compositions and their quality.

With two different approaches to composing, Process Salad develops an intense and restless sound collage based on computer-based MIDI feedback patches, live drums, samples stretching with C_C volca sample and stereo effect pedals, axoloti patches with a LOM microphone and field recordings

pä's very fresh and systematic approach opts for live electronics using nothing more than a haunting neural synthesis circuit, a randomizer (tempo/pitch), a sine wave through a double pulse delay in infinite mode, which generates patterns/rhythms that progressively degrade, collapse and generate new patterns.

Both compositions are also very organic and crisp.

We are thrilled with this release because it opens up a huge palette of new sounds and colours that we have never had before, we can only say thank you for the great imagination and effort that these two duos have put into this release, I hope you all enjoy it.
